What is the process for becoming regulated by SEBI?

Merchant Banks, Investment Advisors and other entities would be required to submit an application to SEBI, along with the required supporting documents and declarations. SEBI may seek additional information or clarification, which may be followed by a meeting with the concerned officers. If the documentation is to the satisfaction of SEBI, registration would be granted by SEBI.

Foreign Portfolio Investors would need to engage a Designated Depository Participant (DDP), through whom the application would be submitted to SEBI.

How long does the process take?

The process for registration as an intermediary with SEBI would take approximately two to three months, subject to the quality of the application, degree of risk involved, the background of promoters and key management personnel.
